Its been roughly three months since I blogged last. Well, I haven't been really that free to think of something to blog - and when some idea came to my head, I was generally too preoccupied to build up on it. So what have I been upto in the last three months?
Well, let me think over it! There was pretty much of work load, plus a few of my trips outside Hyderabad, and two releases of MM in DEShaw (for those who dont know me pretty well, I am presently working in DEShaw in the proprietary team, and MM is the proprietary application I am working on - and as you guessed it right, since its all proprietary I wont even tell you what MM stands for :-)) took almost all of my time that I could not think of updating my blog.
Although I didnt blog about many ideas that did come to my mind, let me re-iterate through them and put them here itself, so that later when I get some ideas on them, or feel very strongly about some of them, I would write a full fledged blog.
1. The scarcity of professors and academic staff in the field of Computer Science in India (well I wont take the full credit for it - a friend of mine actually suggested this to me. I guess he was trying to find out some meaning out of his MS/PhD program in UNC)
2. The pathetic act of Indian Govt blocking some blogging sites
3. Well, a few days back I was also planning of writing about user-generated content and its impact on our lives. Infact some time back I also came to know this interesting stat (though dont take it for true as I cant prove it) - that 20% of things that we read are generated by our peers!! Thats a very very strong indication if its really true!
4. I was also planning to do a review of 'The Tipping Point'. And this I am sure I will do in a few days to come in one of my blogs. I am about to complete the book, and so far I have simply loved the way Malcolm Gladwell analyzes. After this I will begin reading Blink by the same author.
So, Blogosphere, here I am!! Would be blogging more frequently, and definitely not go for a hibernation of 3months :-)

Nice stuff.
Re 2 (Govt. blocking blogs), does it really matter?
You can always bypass by configuring your IE to use a public proxy.
It works.
Yeah tahts true. One can always bypass it. But what was troubling me was the gesture taken by Govt. The problem is much more than people not viewing the blogs. Its about the Govt not respecting the right to speech. India is supposed to be secular. This gesture was totally against that.
